Jurgs01's MSP

[jurgs01]

I just finished installing my GT28rs(ported/polished inlet), spal fans, Defi BF boost gauge and control unit, Rockblocker Blue headlight/foglight covers, and Mazdaspeedster lower grill. I am pretty conservative with the boost, and am just running 9psi right now, so I don't have the #s of some of the higher profile MSPs out there. I believe I am just a turn of the MBC and some tuning on the MPI away from some pretty decent numbers. I try and keep a good balance of performance and sleeper appearance mods. Here is my current list of modifications:

you have one very sweet car.

i think yellow or orange overlays on the front would have looked a little sweeter, but that's just my personal taste, i guess.

how much more tuning does the mpi need? are you doing it yourself?

Dexter has the yellow overlays on his foglights, and it looks pretty good. Blue is just the color scheme I have going, so I stuck with it.

I do tune the MPI myself. A/F is easy because I have a wideband. You can record while you are driving, and see your A/f from you stock narrowband and the current load/RPM on the map. That makes it easy to adjust. I haven't started messing with timing yet, and probably won't until I get the J&S Safegaurd. I just use the timing off the Base map MPNick sent me, which I imagine is fairly conservative.

the blue overlays look nice. i wonder how red would look with yellow fog lights....

 

[RenzoMSP]

I like the blue overlays. They look really good.

after you get the mbc and downpipe, are you gonna dyno it?

 

[azian6er]

have you put the maf on the pressure side yet? If not i suggest you do so.

I have the MBC, along with the ported/polished IM, the IM and TB spacers, and MAM fuel rail sitting in my garage. Those will go on when I get the built shortblock. 20 credits of Electrical Engineering start tomorrow, which along with my Navy activities don't allow for much install time.

I will dyno it, once I get the downpipe, at 9psi (which is stock boost with the RS wastegate actuator). A few friends of mine are setting up a dyno day at a local shop.

I have a perfect mix with my dual BOV/BPV setup right now. I have no turkey, no stalling, and my A/f ratios are tuned perfectly. I would only do that if I was planning on running just a BOV.

And I can't trade my MPI away just when I am getting good at tuning with it

Edit: I would be very happy if I dropped 250 to the wheels at 9psi.
